Mr. Harris, applicant, present and spoke on the work that has been completed on the
building in the past six months. He completed work on the foundation and some of
the exterior wood. He will be working on the windows next.

4. 140835 Resolution relating to the permanent historic designation for the
Sylvester Pettibone House at 2051 West Wisconsin Avenue, in the 4th
Aldermanic District.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Atty. Timothy Van De Kamp present for the owner, Marna Boyle, who is also present.
He asks for a 30-day extension for the new owner to review the recommendations.
City Clerk Jim Owczarski present at the table - the only concern is that it has been
noticed for a meeting twice.
Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Mr. Williams, to open this for a public hearing.
Ms. Hatala said that Mr. Pettibone transferred portions of his property, rather than
entire lots, of his multi-acre property. The earliest photo of the house is from 1870.
There were numerous families at the property throughout the years who performed
various remodels on the house. Apartment buildings were built on both side lots of
the house and the house became rental units and eventually converted to a
commercial building. Some nice architrectural items still remain on the house.
Staff recommends historic designation and feels it meets the criteria of s. e(5) and
(1). This is the oldest surviving house on Wisconsin Avenue.
No one from the audience wished to speak.
Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to close the public hearing.
There were no objections.
Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Mr. Williams, to hold this matter until the April
meeting.
There were no objections.
A motion was made by Matt Jarosz, seconded by Blair Williams, that this
Resolution be HELD IN COMMITTEE. This motion PREVAILED by the following

5. 141671 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for installation of
vents at 2600 N. 2nd Street for All Peoples Gathering Lutheran
Church.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
This certificate is to allow venting for a new kitchen at the church. The church is built
right up to the alley line and to its property line on the other side. The proposed
venting would be out of the basement windows, in the front, although in the setback
section of the building. Ms. Hatala suggested the church might be able to add
greenery in front of the vents to screen them from the public.
Jim Benson - Muskego -- member of the church present to answer questions. They
had explored running the venting out of the second floor, but it wasn't feasible for a
number of reasons. The Commission would like to see the makeup area softened
either by landscaping or screening or a structure, with staff approved landscaping.
Mr. Williams moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, for approval. There were

6. 141675 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
replacement of all windows and doors at Washington High School at
2525 N. Sherman Blvd. in the Sherman Blvd. Historic District for
Milwaukee Public Schools.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Hatala noted that this was a flagship school with two courtyards in the rear.
Additions were built over time, filling in one of the couryards. Both the south and
north elevations have changed radically over time. The COA is to replace both
above grade and basement level windows, some with wooden windows and some
with metal. The Commission must decide if the replacement windows are similar
enough to be used to replace the current windows. The doors will also be replaced -
the old main entrance doors and the current main entrance doors as well as
miscellaneous other doors which will be kept uniform with other existing doors in
other schools.
Staff recommends approval with certain conditions in that a precedent not be set with
other window projects in terms of replacing wood windows with metal windows.
There will be 194 replacement wood windows and 237 metal replacement windows.
Darren Rickert - ZS - the architect on the project working with MPS. They are taking
the approach that the Sherman Blvd. elevation is the most important and doing the
most to match the building style on that side, including on the second floor. The
metal windows on the west and rear elevation are true divided light windows and will
match the brick molding with aluminum trim and are designed to meet the budget and
maintenance reality of MPS. All of the doors were previously replaced in the 70s-90s
and they're looking at durability of the doors due to the fact that the school is a
functioning high school. The doors will be textured to provide a little aesthetic value.
Jan Linn - design and construction manager for MPS. They were hoping this would
be satisfactory due to their budgeting and bidding constraints. The metal windows
are approximately half the cost of the wood windows ($7,000-$9,000 for wood and
$3,500 for metal). MPS had checked into restoring the windows a couple of years
ago, but the question was how much work would be needed once the sash was
removed and what the total cost would end up being and the fact that there is lead
paint involved with no known total cost with multiple unit costs.
Mr. Jarosz would like documentation submitted on explaining why the windows
could not be restored. He would also like the Commission or the staff to provide an
analysis of "or equal" to see the final product in hand before the COA is approved.
Mr. Linn had no issue with ensuring that the "or equal" is the same as the Kolbe
windows approved by the Commission.
There are issues in term of replacing the stained glass window that was above the
main entrance both in terms of protecting it and restoring it.
Mr. Jarosz moves for approval with the following criteria:
1. Clear description of this matter of retaining and restoring the existing windows and
estimates of that cost.
City of Milwaukee Page 3
HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes March 9, 2015
COMMISSION
2. HPC reserves the right to physically review the Kolbe window.
3. The front entrance deliberations are not included so that discussion could be held
related to possibility of adding the historic transom to the main entrance or finding
and preserving that transom.
4. The RFP doors will also be not part of this deliberation, but must be included as
part of the same transom discussion to be held in the future.
5. Approval of the metal windows does not set a precedent for replacement of wood
windows by metal windows on other projects.
Motion was seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. There were no objections.

7. Review and approval of the 2014 Annual Report of the Commission.
Ms. Pieper Brown moved, seconded by Mr. Williams. There were no objections.
8. Discussion relating to the Cream of the Cream City Awards.
Ms. Hatala noted that there are no completed projects for this year, although there
has been a lot of interest in the community to commemorate Paul's work in historic
preservation. Mr. Williams would like to see a "Paul Jakubovich day" in May and his
vote to see if there are sufficient nominations and if not, then don't hold the award
ceremony in May. Ms. Hatala encouraged Commisioners to nominate any projects
they were aware of. The owner of Best Place at the Pabst had again offered his
venue for free. The web page can be updated to also solicit nominations and also
note the those nominations will be reviewed. Mr. Jarosz was fine with holding the
awards ceremony every two years. In May honor Paul and publicize the plaquing
program. Ms. Hatala has not received any completed plaquing program
applications.
9. Discussion of proposed changes to the state Historic Tax Credits.
Mr. Williams was excused from the rest of the meeting at 4:59 P.M.
Mr. Jarosz said that on March 19th at the Grain Exchange a person will be present to
discuss historic tax credits and he would like as many attendees as possible. Ms.
Keating Kahn would like the HPC to write a letter to the governor and legislature that
they not support this proposal to limit the historic rehab tax credits.
Dawn McCarthy - president of Milwaukee Preservation Alliance - has a number of
concerns about setting back the positive results that have been achieved with this tax
credit if the proposed legislation is approved.
Mr. Jarosz noted that the state deliberations are currently occurring, so action needs
to be taken right now, rather than waiting.
Ms. Pieper Brown moved, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn, for creation of a letter.
The Staff Assistant will forward the city letterhead to the chair.
10. Updates and announcements.
